Bought and Xperia Z3 on Tuesday, sold it on Wednesday and bought an iPhone 6 on Thursday! I tried to give android a go but it is just not for me. I missed iOS after about 10 minutes :)

Well at least you gave Android a good go!

Actually it's the Z3 compact that's stopping me making the move to an iPhone. The built quality is top drawer, easily a match for an iPhone and it's £200 cheaper. What's not to like? Nothing wrong with Android, but there again I can turn my hand to anyone OS, not something I could be chewed getting my knickers in a twist over.

To be fair, the Z3 was presented on such a high pedestal as the true iPhone 6 contender it's a good think he bailed early and wasn't stuck with a device he didn't want.

I was left stuck with an Android because it was my first venture, all the tales I heard of being able to flash ROMs and tweak to your hears desire left out all the major caveats.

Also, you have no idea if he was able to break even and just assumed the negative.

I know I'm new to this forum but some of these posts are amazing.

This is my check list for a phone - does it do phone calls, emails, internet, texts, take photos/video, has it got some apps. If the answer is yes then what difference does it make what operating system it uses? There are no bad OS's these days, just dumb users.

If the hardware is decent then the only thing that matters to me is price point. Looking at some of the posters in this thread they must have money to burn. Many of the monthly payments are more than I would pay for a car never mind a phone.

What are these major caveats you speak of?

I do agree, my post has completely excused the fact that Lee didn't exactly give Android a chance. I'm quite a conscious spender (aka tight arse) and gave it a genuine chance but lost, what I'd consider, a lot of money in doing so but I'm wiser for it. Hence it's nice for me to see someone who actually saved money.

I wanted to try iOS and I planned it out nicely, brought my iPhone 6 online so I got 14 days to return it. Ended up returning it on Thursday, love the hardware but iOS just isn't there for me yet, things like sharing are still meh, still far limiting, I pay a decent amount for unlimited 4G and by god I want to use it to download all sort of games, but instead got slapped with a 100mb limit.

TouchID is amazing thou and I miss it, but I ended up returning it without losing any money. I think in a few months when apps update things should be better, but I might just stick with a Android phone + iPad going forward, I just like Android more on a phone, iPhone 6 is mostly interesting for handoff, answer phone calls at work with my laptop is amazing.
 
I'm sorry to hear that mate. Sounds like you'd benefit from waiting until we see the first Jailbreak.

Your listed issues are all solved by my current jailbreak and that's no different, arguably a lot more simple, than flashing a ROM.

Er yes, absolutely the price and since you asked....

1.) Photos management is in such a poor state with Android, you'll have a million folders based on what app downloaded/made/tweaked the image. I had album art in a few music folders and couldnt even delete them from the album. So good luck finding a new downloaded photos. Some HDR photos don't even appear in the library until a few good minutes after being shot. The single photo folder in iOS dominates.

This is something I really miss about Android. To me it makes logical sense to keep photos you've taken yourself separate to everything else.

Further more, even when I create folders to arrange my photos they are still all in the main photo folder!

I don't want to have to trawl through all the rubbish people have sent me on whatsapp to get to the photos I've taken myself!

I never really flash roms, already have a Nexus so its stock Android, I just root + Xposed which is pretty similar to jailbreak + an all in one jailbreak tweak hub. Only issue with Jailbreaking these days is how long it takes to come out due to it getting harder and harder, could be a few months before one drops.
 
Just upgraded to the 6+, EE reckon they've got some in stock but I have my doubts, now I wait!:p

Edit: Just received a text saying it is coming tomorrow, well I never.

I had noticed my 6 seemed to be charging quickly when plugged into the iMac. I check the current on system report and saw this:

Current Available (mA): 500
Current Required (mA): 500
Extra Operating Current (mA): 1600

Am I right in thinking that its puling 2100 mA from a usb 2.0 ?
 
so my Iphone 6 + has been doing really weird things, reporting no signal, not answering calls and sending them straight to voicemail, refusing to make calls, dropping calls, all whilst seemingly reporting full signal, in areas where o2 have confirmed there is good coverage.

We've changed sims, turned the voicemail off, fiddled about with all sorts of settings and nothing much has helped. O2 are collecting it and swapping it.

anybody else experienced anything similar ?

I Get that with O2 - Full bars but not receiving calls. Not isolated to this iP6 - did the same on the N5 and Moxo-X i had before.

I get the feeling the issue is with O2, and not the phone as if i stick my EE sim in there i see no such issues.

My wife had similar issues with her iPhone 4. You need to book a Genius appointment at an Apple store and they will run a diagnostics check on your phone to view the error log.

More than likely they'll replace it for you, especially if you've tried replacing the SIM and had active troubleshooting with O2. ;)

O2 already booked a replacement. It's a doorstep swap job where I hand my old phone to the courier and he gives me my new one.

Hope it is a hardware issue and just a faulty handset and not some wider issue with O2 and IP6 as my previous 5 never had these issues. It would need airplane mode turned on and off occasionally when it got stuck in gprs or edge, but literally 90 % of my calls aren't coming though at the minute, so its on a whole different level.
